Bare Skin Studio

Mel is great. The salon is clean and comfortable. She makes a painful procedure more tolerable and almost fun. Lol

Mel is awesome! Quick, easy and through. Best waxer I’ve ever had.

Brit is amazing! Very professional and painless – two must-​have qualities in someone giving you a Brazilian wax. She has a gift not only for waxing, but also a relaxing demeanor that always puts me at ease! I highly recommend Brit! You won’t be disappointed.

Once again what a wonderful experience. Mel and Brit were a very professional tag — team (yes an inside joke). Chest hair trim, leg hair trim, pits and arms, both sides even and groomed to prefection. Back and butt wax along with a «bro zillion» and butt crack wax were as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Mel and her staff make you feel welcomed and relaxed. They offer a lot of other services also and will be taking advantage of those in the future. If you want the best, then check them out.

My husband gets his brozillian done by Mel every 6 weeks. I suggested he get a brozillian on numerous occasions. At first he was reluctant to get it done, but after he had a bad ingrown from shaving, he switched over to the brozillian life. He says it was honestly the best decision he ever made and I second that. Sometimes the wife knows best lol! Mel is the amazing and I would recommend not only men to get a brozillian, but anyone in general to try out the other amazing services she offers.

Mel Rocks! She is friendly sweet funny and does a fantastic job. I been a client of her for over 3 years. Highly recommend.

If you’re a man considered getting waxed/​trimmed up and Bare Skin Studio aren’t the first words that come out of your mouth, you’re doing something wrong. Don’t even bother thinking about going anywhere else for this type of service and experience. I want to emphasize the word experience because anywhere else, it would just be in and out, just another number. Even then, might not even be what you wanted and believe me I’ve tried the worst of the worst when it comes to waxing so I know what I’m talking about.
If you want the experience to be a seamless one, one in which you’re in the hands of a professional, go to Mel and her associates at Bare Skin Studio. They really know what they’re doing and she takes her work VERY seriously. Waxing certain areas and trimming others is somewhat of an art, whether it be on a males body or female, Mel tries her utmost best to find what’s most suitable for each client be it just either waxing, trimming, or a combination of both. Yes it’s a bit awkward to just be sitting there in your birthday suit, but when you see the results you’re going to be wearing a smile along with that birthday suit.
Men (and women), you want to get waxed? you want to rejuvinate your skin? clean up your pores a little? give your skin some well deserved TLC? Bare Skin Studio is the answer.

5 stars is not enough for Mel. What a wonderful person and a great business! One of the rare women to cater to men and she does it in such a relaxed atmosphere. I just spent 4 hours there today and it was incredible. Mel gave me the full body shave and also did an ear, nose and butt crack wax. I was tentative at first but in about 2 minutes Mel had me relaxed and comfortable just chatting to me and the entire time was great. I then finished with a body scrub and massage which culminated a wonderful experience.
Prior to my leaving, Mel went over some points of how to take care of my skin and I set up my next appointment. She is one of a kind, very personable and very good at her craft. Guys (and women), you owe it to yourself to try any of her services. I drove from the Inland Empire because of all the great reviews. They were all spot on! Thank you Mel (and Michelle, great massage!).

Excellent service! Friendly and confidential. Pain free and well priced. Free drinks too! Mel is awesome!

Amazing service ! I’m feeling really smooth and with no pain afterwards ! Amazing thank you ! I’ll be back

Other reviews seemed a bit exaggerated at first but after having been here I dont think they are exaggerated. Mel is very nice and easy to deal with. It turned out a lot less painful than I had expected.
I suppose the best thing I can say about the place is that I have another appointment coming up here and I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

This was my first wax experience since relocating from Los Angeles and the service here beat any salon/​studio/​spa I have ever been to. I was extremely happy with the end result of my wax appointment. They have several types of the highest quality hypoallergenic was that were all pain free and left no sticky residue. From single dipped sticks to glove changes, they spent so much time making sure every part of the service was completely clean. While men are the majority of the clientele, ladies do not let that discourage you from this pain free, extremely detailed, five star wax experience. Thank you Danielle and Mel.

There is a reason why Mel has a five star review — she really is that amazing! I know her niche is male waxing, but she does an excellent job with women as well! I’ve gone to Mel and Danielle now for years for the various services. Great prices and there’s no irritation or anything after, literally just wax and go! The place is next to massage therapy place, and the ladies there are awesome as well! Mel and Danielle are very friendly and personable, they can take something very embarrassing and private and actually make it fun and enjoyable.

Love Mel… She is great and always professional!
my skin looks amazing every time!
nice beautiful quiet studio

Amazing place! Melanie is fantastic! The waxes she uses do not irritate my skin like other salons I’ve been to in the past. Her prices are the same as most salons, so you’re not being gouged.
It’s a really comfortable place… I mean you’re getting your privates waxed, why not laugh about funny stories?
Serious best place I’ve been ever. The fact that she’s right next door to my work is even better!!!

So there I was, searching the internet to find a place where I could get a «brozillian» wax job done. I have never had this done before, so of course I was a little nervous. Was it going to hurt? What about in grown hairs? How long will it last? Will it hurt? Is it going to be uncomfortable when it starts growing back? Will it hurt? How often do I need to come back to maintain it? And my final question, will it hurt?
When I got to the Bare Skin Studio website I clicked on the Men’s waxing link and started reading. The humor that Mel put on the page in regards to the process made me feel comfortable and at ease. Doing this for your first time can be a little intimidating, and just reading this information I knew I was going to have them do this for me. So I emailed a few question to Mel before I made the appointment. She immediately got back to me by phone and answered all my questions. She made me feel very relaxed with making this decision, so relaxed that she actually talked me into getting the Trifecta done. Yes, she told me to get the «Brozillian» done as well as my «crack» and my nostril hairs. How did she know my nostril hairs were out of control?
The day of the appointment I showed up and was still a little nervous. Mel was super friendly and put me at ease right away. She showed me the different waxes that she will be using on me, and how they are the best for this process. The «brozillian» didn’t hurt anywhere as much as I thought it was. After the first «rip» of hair was done, and that initial thought of excruciating pain diminished, I knew this was not going to be bad at all. She proceeded with the rest and was finished before I knew it, with very little or no pain at all. She then moved on to the next part of my appointment. I can honestly say that the second and third part of the trifecta didn’t hurt at all. Mel talked to me the whole time and made me feel relaxed through the entire thing.
I am very pleased with how everything turned out. It looks and feels a million times better. I will be back in six weeks to keep it maintained. I will definitely be coming to Mel for other services she provides as well. The facial, full body wax and massage will be booked soon. I highly recommend any guy that has wanted this done to contact Mel. Just give her a call and ask questions, don’t be scurred, or nervous. As soon as you talk to her she will put your mind at ease.

I’m pretty squeamish when it comes to having my back waxed. Usually, it’s a seemingly endless process filled with pain while I grit my teeth and fight back the urge to straight up walk out of the joint. However, my visit here was very smooth (pun intended): great service, very professional, relatively low pain, and best of all, Mel caters to guys. No need to feel apprehensive whatsoever.
If you have any waxing needs, especially all you hairy guys out there, I highly recommend going to see Mel… I’ll definitely be back!

I went to Bare Skin Studio for a brozillian. I was nervous about getting a brozillian but Mel was professional aesthetician I ever met. She make things comfortable unlikely other place I’ve been. The service and cleanliness of the studio is 10 out of 10. This place is far the best I ever seen. I’ll definitely come back for another brozillian.
Give it a try guys!

Getting a Brazilian or Brozilian as I call it (or any type of wax) is and will never be relaxing. You can’t fool me with trickling fountains or new age music — it’s a wax, people, where hair follicles are being ripped out of my body, so why am I spending 60 minutes putting on a robe and trying to «tap into my zen» — and likely paying a higher price for the privilege?
Enter Bare Skin! I was so happy to find this place, really centrally located in Laguna HIlls. You may ask, what differentiates it from your ordinary wax experience?
–FRIENDLY, OPEN STAFF: There should be nothing embarrassing about getting a wax, and Mel won’t beat around the bush (wow…sorry for that unintended pun). Anything is on the table for discussion. She made me feel so comfortable!
–PRICED RIGHT: No, it’s not as cheap as your «bargain basement» wax (and, honestly, who would want to risk going to one of those sketchy places), but you’re not paying for a spa environment either. All the prices were very fair and lower than most places.
–EFFICIENT: For my appointment I arrived on time, and Mel was ready for me right when I walked in. I was in and out of there. I also got a facial which was AMAZING!
–EXPERIENCED STAFF: Mel used use hard wax on sensitive parts, which made the experience a lot more comfortable, both during and afterward. Her attention to detail and gentle technique was spot-​on.
– EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN: There was not a tool out of place, and everything looked super neat and organized. When you’re working with that area of the body, I wouldn’t settle for anything less than hospital-​grade sanitation and Bare Skin seemed to hit the mark.
I cannot wait for my next appointment! I’m looking forward to smooth, amazing skin! A huge thank you to Mel. Your stuck with me! lol

I’ll make this short and sweet, as this is kind of an awkward service for a man to get! :)
I went to Bare Skin Studio today based on a referral from a friend. There are not a lot of professional places in OC that offer this type of service. I called and scheduled my appointment without a problem. Mel was the aesthetician who helped me out and I have nothing but great things to say about her, the quality of service and cleanliness of the studio. She was very personable, professional, and quick. Oh, and the pricing was MORE than competitive. I was floored when I went to pay.
Just wanted to give her and the salon a big two thumbs up! I know being a man and getting waxed is quite the taboo, but sometimes we want the sun to shine in certain places. :) :)
If you’re reading this, TRY it out!
